in fairness, kirk hinrich did a pretty good mvp impression, and jimmy butler did everything deng does. those were lucky facts for chicago, but what wasn't lucky was that that team is built on defense, not offense. so they can win without top players.

^LMAO. So funny, yet so sad. This season has totally sucked. We're a bad basketball team. Now, the frustration inside the locker room starts. Dwight thinks we should play "inside-out," and we would if he didn't get stripped all the time. Pau's unhappy coming off the bench. And why? Doesn't he realize he can't work next to Dwight. Kobe's on tired legs. And the list goes on...

I heard that. See the thing is, "giving up" suggests there is no foreseeable solution. It may be true that our playoff hopes are gone this season. In that sense, I "gave up" after our loss to Denver earlier this month.

As long as we have Kobe I think we will stick to the Laker tradition of putting a winner out there. Crossing fingers for changes.

Deron Williams - “I hate ’em, you know,” he said the other day. “I hate the Lakers. They’re so good. I hate them because they win all the time. They’re a tough team. … We definitely talk about it. It’s not a secret. We hate the Lakers.”

I think we have seen our last title in 2010...the league is being ran against us, refs screw us over...we don't have our usual luck and jimmy buss has ruined this franchise beyond repair in the immediate future.
